June 23rd, 1992

June 23 and June 4, 1992, at Cell 63 featured a unique double flyer that is a stylistic departure from Nathan’s typical flyers, making it more likely to have been designed by Mark Rodgers or Dawn of Unfucked/Function. The flyer was made to be cut in half after being copied, with each half distributed separately to promote two upcoming events.

On June 23, Cell 63 hosted a show with Treacherous JayWalkers, Downcast (Goleta, California), Libido Boyz (Mankato, Minnesota), and Drippy Drawers (Northern California). On June 4, the lineup included Neutral Nation (Rhode Island), Inject, Floodgate (Santa Cruz, California), and Flysex, bringing in punks from outside the San Fernando Valley. The flyer even included directions from Los Angeles, exemplifying the way Cell 63 was drawing crowds from outside the immediate area, further cementing its status as a key hub for the Southern California punk scene.
